edit: and if you want to go to a definition of rts where populous counts because it's strategic and has real-time play, then utopia for intellivision came out way the hell earlier and also fits that category

I thought Populus was the first RTS? I cant remember what system it was for though. Old school.

Populus was out on PC and AMI in '89. Herzog Zwei in '88. Ya got me. Fun fact though, Japan didnt get this game untill '89! We actually got a game first!

The Pirate Captain

My brother had this game and I hated, Hated, HATED it. I totally sucked and lost every battle. Now that I've had experience with C&C and whatnot I should probably give it another shot. Thanks for reminding me that it exists!

Maybe they're waiting to release it so that it will coincide with Herzog Drei?

I KNEW I had heard that name before. Sounds really awesome. You think Nintendo would put it out on Virtual Console?

This is one of those games I meant to try out, but never did.

I bet having a name like "Herzog Zwei" didn't help much either.

Woah, sounds a lot like Total Annihilation!

Yeah! :D
Herzog was awesome. Chewed up many, many well spent hours of my life playing this. Kicking the computer's ass was pretty easy, and it was good challenging fun going head to head with a friend. The theme music is now running through my brain again :P good times
